I was impressed with O'Connor. I really think if it weren't for
the transfer portal he would have found himself with Power 5
offers last spring. Marquette is a really tough matchup to open
up against. Central Michigan should be a better indicator of
where we are

Finally got to watch the game this morning. Marquette is a very
talented top-20 team, and will contend for BE title, no doubt.
Several thoughts on the game itself:
- Despite the rapid succession of TO's in the 2nd half, I
thought O'Connor showed a lot of poise under adversity. Pretty
good ball handling skills;
- Don't like the idea of Snoody bringing the ball up, even
though he can handle the rock OK;
- Wight definitely looks legit, but we are lacking any sort of
backup for him, like we had last year. Not sure if small ball
will win a lot of games in the CAA;
- Luster and Octave look like scorers, and I expect good things
from them. Woodard looks athletic, but is somewhat raw;
- Sabry needs to play more minutes, even though he can be
somewhat offensively challenged at times. Love his D, and his
toughness;
- I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think the Frey
experiment needs to come to a close. Year 2, and he's still a
poor shooter, his choice of shots are downright shocking at
times, and he's a below-average defender. Time to cut his
minutes to under 8 per game imo;
All-in-all, I don't think we played horribly, despite the score.
2nd half was a bit rough, but I'm glad Marquette didn't let up.
Games like these are good gut checks, and may pay dividends
once we enter league play.
We'll see what the next OOC game brings.
